Supermodel Heidi Klum is making a case for platform sandals as the ideal summer shoe.
At first glance, it might not seem like a five-inch heel is practical for walking around New York City in the midsummer heat. But Klum’s favorite Saint Laurent Candy 80 platforms are balanced by a nearly two-inch platform, making them surprisingly comfortable to walk in.
The star has opted for the sandals — in both black and beige — for running errands around New York, appearances and even at Wimbledon in London.
